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 Theresa- I love your show. I lost my dad (at 67) – 7 years ago to leukemia…then my husband (AT 35) died 2.5 months after that to cancer. I love the feeling that my loved ones are watching over my daughter and I, and are “around” as guardian angels. I love the peace that your show brings. Thank you for what you’re doing. We love you. Lee and Elise
My best friend past leaving her 5 kids alot is going on right now I dont know what to do I am trying my best to take care of the kids my self the kids are goin through so much right now
Dear Theresa
I’m writing this email wondering if it may be possible for my family to meet you, I am a 16 years old boy and I lost my best friend/brother when I was only 4 years old, and till this day we miss him and my mother never has gotten over it. She attempts to hide it from me and my sister but we hear her crying at night. I know that she would feel better if she met you and got to receive some unanswered questions from the tragic lost of my brother and her first son.
Sincerely,
Elijah Anderson
Dear Teresa,

Able to read my dad? He spoke soley Spanish .
I want to know if any of my dreams came true in heaven.

Dear Theresa,
l” m writing on behalf of my youngest daughter… we’ve had so many deaths in a short period if time, one was a close friend who she feels responsible for his death and has been so depressed over this and everyone else who have passed. This has just made her miserable and so depressed, I think if she could get a reading it might give her some closures from this, she could possible become my happy go luck girl again thank you for your consideration….

Dear Teresa,
Iv been dealing with a hard time lately, I am 13 years old and in 8th grade at summit middle school. My grandfather passed away before my mom was even pregnant with me. I wish I could of met him but in a way I fell like I have. I don’t know if its because of a spirit or just my door but every now and then I would be in my room and there’s a loud bang at my door then it opens. I’m used to it now but still curious as to what is causing it, I had another experience when I was younger I was watching an old I love Lucy rerun when 2 shadows ran across my wall. I was really scared and hid under the covers after some minuets it stopped. I would like it very much if you respond to this because I would like to know what that might have been.
Dear Theresa,
I am currently a high school student from Greenville , SC. I have always had a connection with loved ones that have passed. When, I was younger I started realizing that I have some type of gift. Just recently, one of my close friends from school passed and I believe that he sent me a warning about my boyfriend dying. He gave me insights of an event happening with some type of vehicle. I was stuck in the middle of the road after leaving my boyfriend’s house , crying hysterically. I kept saying that ,” Someone is trying to tell me something, and its something with a vehicle.” My boyfriend was scared out of his mind. He didnt know what to do, but hold me in the middle of the road. Almost a month later, my boyfriend died from getting hit by the garbage truck that he works on. I have been sad for days, but decided to start a research on the message they are trying to tell me. I now have this same feeling that something else is coming. The spirits of both seem happy , knowing that I’m interested in hearing them out. Now, I am continuing my research until I find out what the message is exactly. Theresa I really need your help and guidance of this situation. I hope to hear from you and feel the connection. Thank you, so very much !

Back in Sept of 1978 a big family fight startd its the type of arguement long time coming.My uncle Dennis was the protector of the family ecspecialy over the kids i have the most amazing memories of my uncle starnge. Funny. The way out there. The hard working.the amazing dad he was to his 2 boys Benny & Dennis he was the greatest uncle any child could ever want.. He loved hard an played harder he did drugs through out my life but never infront of us kids.. He did drugs an among other things to hide his childhood pain.. My mom played big sister an mother to her siblings as well as being a young mother of 4 children an fighting to get out of an abusive marriage… she had to take on alot as a small child from fighting off the sexual abuse from her own father to taking care of her siblings an keeping them safe from their father mental an physical abuse as well she got preg at 14 thinking that would get her away fron the abusive home life she soon realized she was n a wrose situation… Long story short in Sept of 1978 or 1979 the past came to lite when my uncle came to my grandmothers an told the family that my grandmothers 2nd husband will meet his destiny that day he was tired of my grandmother marring these pedifiles an doing nothing to protect this genirasion of kids that he was going to do it for he that he was going to kill him so he couldnt hurt any more kids with sexual abuse my grandmother beged my mom to take him out of the house so he didnt kill her husband an go to jail my mom beged her nt to make her do it he made plans to spend the day with his boys mom took him to get his boys on the way there mom got a bad feeling that somthing bad was about to hapn she beged my uncle plz just get the boys meet her out front with them she went 2 doors dwn to get gas while she was getn gas she heard a pop noise didnt think nothing of it until she pulled up at his mother n laws house an he warnt outside an thats when the 2nd what she realized now as gunshots goin off in the house she went to the door an opend it an saw my uncle falling to the floor with 2 gunshots to his chest my mom ran to him held him an he said sissy im dieing she kept telln him plz hold on an yelled call 911 he told her sissy im sry i love u an past in her arms.. Teresa the reason im writing to you today is my mom has never been able to let the guilt of that day go she beleaves she drove him to his death so many rumors surounding his death has haunted her to this day one being she shot him an i knw thats not true because i was there… Teresa if u can find it in ur heart to come to Tennessee an give my mom the closesure she so despretly needs teresa i would be indeted to you for the rest of my life… She is the strongest woman i knw but every year on the annaversy of his death mom goes into a deep sarrow over her bother not bein here an the deep pain she bares everyday because she beleaves she drove him to his death an let him down an didnt protect him as she promised she would… My mom’s health isnt the greatest i dont want her to live the rest of her life with a guilt of my uncles death being her fault..

Mi padre murio repentinamente y que de con muchas preguntas y quisiera saber si esta bien
I won’t say why, so as not to taint a reading. I tried 5 times tonight to enter the win a reading. I was unable to send it. My husband is the one who needs a reading. He needs closure. I am from Long Island myself. West Babylon in fact.
Thank you.
