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.”

Hi Teresa, my best friend lost her mom when we were young, 13yrs old we’re 30 now and she’s been so lost ever since, she’s never dealt with it, and has been going down some bad roads. Just recently we found out she might be losing her dad too, I hurt so bad for her, and want her to be able to connect with her mom again, if anyone in the world needs this it’s Jane. I will pay for her flight to see you if this can really happen. I know this will change her world, please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Sincerely
Amy

Hello Theresa: I am fascinated by your ability to speak to those in the afterlife. I am a 70 year old widow who lost my husband seven years ago. It was a puzzling case for me and I never really received closure. I would love to hear from you so that maybe some of my questions are answered. Yes, I have tried to put his death in the past, but every now and then I can’t help think about this sad event. Be well…. and thank you for listening, Deanna.
Theresa,
My daughter is 15 yrs old, at the age of 7 she saw her father die, a tractor fell on him in front of us..before he died he told me, he loved me, but i wouldnt let HOpe get close, because she was so close to him and i didnt want her to remember the horror of it……She loves your show and would love to meet you… Her daddys birthday is on 11/9. I would love for you to if you could just give her a message from him….she still greaves for him every day. And its been 7 yrs….thanks. Tanya hanks
Hi Theresa
I reside in South Africa I fell in love with your show in TLC. I believe what is aired in our pay tv’s might be older. Your work proves a point that human being are connected in more ways than irrespective of nationality or race.
I’m an African but in terms of beliefs we are similar, though the rituals may be different. In our Xhosa traditions we believe in the departed.
There might be people who do what you do but there’s only you, you are unique. When you connect even the viewers can feel the presence of their own.
Keep up the good work
I love you. I’m 61. Been having a past life event since I was 5 yrs old. Know his name. Dress mode etc. Is this normal
I love you. I’m 61. Male. Widowed 2 times. Think I’m living a past life event as someone else. Know my name. Mode of dress. Being saying his name since I was 5 yrs old

My name is Elizabeth. My birthmom passed away when i was twelve. As i was adopted at birth, i was never able to meet her. The first time i saw her was standing over her dead body in a casket. Her name was Julie. She passed suddenly and unexpectedly. I was supposed to meet her after my eighteenth birthday this year on april 16th. I never knew her. And feel like o never will get that chance. I have mixed emotions and just want to know what she thinks of me and if she ever loved me. Why she i need closure.
Hello Theresa or who ever is screen her mails. This is just my daily request for a private reading. This will be 3,000 mile round trip. This is so very important to me I feel if I try every day I might have a chance for private reading Thanks for reading this day after day Take care, Carol
