Theresa Caputo, the star of TLC’s series Long Island Medium, says she was 28 when she was first introduced to the possibility that she was a medium. It took another five years for her to actually accept her gift.
“There’s a big difference from when I accepted it to who am I?” Caputo told us. She said she struggled with feeling, “I’m no different than anybody else. Why was I chosen to do this? Why is this my journey?”
The aftermath of 9/11 left her with clarity and a feeling of purpose for what she calls her role in the physical world. Now Caputo spends her days and nights taking her clients on an emotional and spiritual journey with the afterlife. She helps people find closure and/or reconnect some with loved ones who have passed.
UPDATE 2/1/2013 – The BEST way to contact Caputo is through her new website: www.theresacaputo.com
Her phone number that was previously listed here is no longer in service, so we removed from the post. When we last talked to Theresa (January 2012), she told us the best way to reach her is via her new website at www.theresacaputo.com. This was an update to what TLC previously provided (Longislandmedium@gmail.com). That email address we have tried and have never gotten a response. Her wait time is over two years at this point, due to the popularity of the show.
Surprisingly, Caputo has built her career on word of mouth only and has done little to no marketing. When asked if she’s ready for what a TV series will bring as far as popularity, Caputo says: “Absolutely not. I still think this is like a school project. It’s so not reality yet for me. My life is overwhelming as it is, as of right now, my waiting list to get an appointment is… I don’t have any availability until January 2013.”

I love this show. I always get a good cry out of it. I believe it is simply amazing what Theresa does. I wish I lived on Long Island so I could have a sit down with Theresa. I would take my mother because she could sure use a reading. But, we all could use some readings. If I ever win the lottery. I am so going to call for an appointment with Theresa. I have this show DVR’d so I don’t miss the show. I LOVE IT.

My husband’s brother(Joey)was killed on Easter morning aprox.47 years ago. My husband and I have been married for 3o years, and to this day the death of his brother “haunts’ him. Joey was a mischievious little 7 year old boy. The night before Easter my husband (Daryl) and his brother Joey had an agruement. The last words he said to his brother was..” I wish you were dead!” After getting into his Easter candy just before sunrise, he woke my husband and wanted to play outside. He was tired and although only one year younger than his brother, he knew it was too early to go outside, and said “No, go back to sleep”. Joey ended up playing alone in a nearby cemetry. The gardener chased him out into the street where he was hit by a car, and died instantly. My husband was guilt ridden as he felt he caused his death by saying he wished he was dead. He has carried this burdon far too long. It has been eating away at him year, after year. To make matters worse, Dary’ls B-day is April 23rd, so there are times when Easter falls on his b-day. He doesn’t want to celebrate his birthday or Easter. I truely believe that God gives people “gifts’ such as yours to help others. He needs closure, he needs to be reassured that it wasn’t his fault. He needs to know some day he will be with him in heaven. I love Daryl so deeply, and the hurt in his heart is just too much for him to hold on to. It is too much for me to see him in such pain. We live in Upstate NY, so we are not too far from you. I would really be honored if you could help him. 47 years is too long to hang onto guilt. Is there any way you could help him? I want him to experience true happiness in life. Please respond to my email address, as I don’t know how to reach you. Sincerely, Kathy
Dear Teresa,
I have watched your show from the beginning and I feel this strong connection to you and the show. I often predict things that will happen to people around me by a feeling that comes across me, never a dream, and I have since day one felt the need to be read. I hope to talk one day!! Pam (reply if possible)
My name is Brenda I was born an empath with the ability to read other people. I have a gift that god has given me to similar to Theresa I admire her and watch her as well.
I am writing regarding my sister. She lost her son last year it was devasting to our whole entire family young and old. I worry about my sister.I know she will never be the same. I wish I could take her pain away.I hate seeing my sister in such torment.She and the whole family have a lot of unanswered questions regarding his death.We miss him horribly and need to know he is ok. Please help my sister. I would be forever in debt to you. SINCERELY CHRIS ARNETT
Hi Theresa I watch your show as much as possible…I have a fiancé that died this year I would like to know will you please help me…
Hello T.
I have had death around me and I am very comfortable with the ones that have passed no matter how young or old. I was as specialized Nanny that took care of children that were grieving from a loss of a parent. At times it seemed I was really there for the parent left. Children and parents greave different so I was a middle women to bring them together to greave healthy.
The one that need help is my Mother. She has a couple of spirits that she need to know that all is well and they are ok and she need to have no burden or guilt. You would be perfect for her so if you or someone great as you are in Indiana it would be great to get a reading for her soon. She has been dealing with this for almost 6 years. She is miserable! She now lives in Anderson Indiana north of Indianapolis. I live in Colorado and would bring her to you as well, just anything to let her know what I already do…it’s all good:) Thank you for your help if possible.
Smiles,
Jamey

Hi Theresa,
I Love your show and watch it every Sunday.
I am writing to about my chihauhua Bubbles a beautiful choclate brown male. He was like my son I called him my little boy. He was 14 or 15 and he slept with me everynight since he was a puppy. He was healty up until last year when he came down with diabetes. I took him to the vet in August but didn’t do the blood work, he was eating like normal but was getting up 4 or 5 times a night to drink water and pee, anyway took him to the vet in Oct and he gave me
insulin and I gave it to him and like a few hours later he died, I feel guilty for giving it to him, he had a seizure and died in my arms Does he forgive me?
and does he hear me when I talk to him at night? and will I see him again? I miss him so much sometimes I can’t stand it.
Many family and friends have passed on for me and I know they are with me. I put my dog down 4 weeks ago and wonder if her spirit has found her way home to me. I need to know because my heart aches for her. She was 15 years old and last month or two she was getting pretty sick.
My son had a car accident back on 2008!
His dear friend was killed in the accident.
My son has never forgiven himself and
can’t seem to move on.
I wish my son could be told that he should
move on and it’s ok to move on
I lost my dad suddenly in January and had to make the decision to end his life support. Though we had discussed this and he had made his decision years earlier, I still feel I need him to tell me he is ok and I didn’t do anything wrong.
Would love to see you come in the New Orleans
area.
