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 have seen my husband lost his first wife, and I am his second wife, I too have lost a person I am in pain every day of my life.. Right now my husband lost the love of his wife, and he was on his way driving back from airport and got a call from his daughter, the doctor got on the phone and told her she had passed. He never got to say goodbye, and Anna his daughter, I would love for her to talk to her mom once again. I want this more than anything for them, I too deal with a loss greatly but this means the world to me to have closure, I see pain in my husbands eyes everyday. I am reminded I am not the daughters mother, all I ever wanted was to be her friend. If there is any way possible you can help my husband and my step daughter get closure would mean the utter most joy and happiness I want to give them that.. I am in Spokane and she is in seattle but I would love for them to go or have you come here. I don’t have much to offer, but some biscuits and tea.. a lot of love and respect, I watch yout show all the time, I cant go through one reading crying and wishing it could happen for my husband and my step daughter.. I hope they can get what they need.. and if you can hear from my granny I never got to say good bye too. she was likes a mother to me, and was there from when I was born, she protected me and loved me like a mother. in 2001 in may I had turned around gave her a kiss, and took a picture I cant find and I hold that memory. as in june she fell and broke her hipes, and I had to call and they couldn’t get the phone to her, and I had to write the hardest letter of my life, and tell her hope she gets better and I knew she wouldn’t.. I cry and I ache for her everyday of my life. but that is my pain,, I wanted to say good bye.. I regret as much as my husband and step daughter does. I ask for my family to be whole and move on if you could help with closure.. god bless you Theresa.. your simply amazing and I hope in some day to meet you…

I know that this message is probably 1 in a million. It will probably get overlooked, I’m hoping to GOD that something about these short message as a medium catches your attention. I’ve always been a strong believer of life after death and won’t speak about who I would want to contact ( if it ever would occur) or what horrible things me and my kids had to go through. Theresa Caputo i really admire your work and I know that you must have thousands of emails. If by any chance u do bump into mines and something about it catches your attention, please contact me @ 203-379-7641 My name is Milagros Rodriguez and in from Meriden Connecticut. Thank you
My mom turn to drugs this is our last hope in saving her she needs closure from my grandmas death18yrs ago help please she watches you n asked for u I’m scared I’m going to lose her soon please help
February 14th, 2009 was the worst day of my life. At Lakeside Hospital in Brockport, I watched two people get shot to death. One of them was the love of my life, Randal Norman. The other, a stranger to me, was Mary Sillman. She was a mother and a daughter who didn’t deserve such a violent death.
I awakened in a hospital room surrounded people I didn’t know later that day. Doug Randall introduced himself as the Assistant District Attorney. As I asked him to repeat his name to me once again, I didn’t realize what good hands I was in. My life as I knew it was gone forever. The next few months were very difficult for everyone involved in the Frank Garcia brutal murders. The day after Mary and Randy’s funerals, I faced a grand jury. Doug held me that day and then again in September when the trial began. I am not a calm person. Doug has his hands full with me and the murders. I’m very grateful that Doug was on my side. He was strong and confident that we would get the verdict we deserved.
We need a good judge that cares about victims. Please support Doug Randall for Monroe County Court Judge.

Dear Theresa, I write this on the behalf on my friend, my soulmate, my better half he grew up in LA his mother young and bright and his father older he was an only child knowing nothing more his parents cane from nothing and his father was doing well they were never married and as a mother young did what she could he grew up with his father while his mother went to school in the meantime life went on his father hit some hardships and lost everything slum living wasn’t the norm and for a young boy barely 12 it was life altering I know this story might sound staged or something but this boy who is now 26 lost his father at 12 and his father was what he knew he needs closure it happened so fast so suddenly I feel his pain because the man I love had no closure he can not see the good he can feel the love I have his mother is an amazing women but the sudden death of his father I know has left him with questions this is a man I want a life with and know he can never move forward because he is forever held back for the lack of his questions and doubt I see his pain even though he hides it. I want this man the love of my life to just have closure it is my mission to give it to him because out of the 5 years of being with I feel in my soul I am here to guide him to it, to you the one who I know can give him what he needs. You have thousands of prole reach out to you and as I lie here emotion and tears streaming in my heart God tell me you will read this. He will answer this prayer that I know he has that only I am brace enough because he as his father was to prideful. I hope in some way one day whether today next week or next month I hear something. You truly are an angle a gift to heal. Thank you

Theresa, I’ve have lost two very important people in the last 14yrs. The most important was my sister that we lost after 4wks after we found out she was sick. It was about 4 wks after her 50th birthday. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think and grieve for her. I always thought that I would die around 50 but she was the one who did. I almost felt like I had an intuition but it was about her instead of me. She was my confidant and best friend sometimes I can feel her around me. I also lost one of my friends about 3years before her. I worry if she is at peace due to the way she died. There have been times that I have smelled cigarette smoke in my car and I don’t smoke. I used to hear someone say my name st the hospital that we both worked and there will be no one around . I would Love to know that they are ok and see if my sister thinks I’m taking care of mom and dad ok Thanks do much for listening and I.think you really do help people. Thanks again loddie

My friend getting married next month in Austin Texas ! His brother was killed in accident nearly 8 yrs ago by drunk driver! His father is a politician & state of jersey made new law “micheals law” I would love for you 2 give my BFF & his parents a reading before his wedding please
Hi
I am emailing you because I had some very dear to me pass away 3 months ago and I just want to know why she died I feel like I need closure.
I had read that you were going to be in Colorado in November of this year. I have a good friend and her sister that I wanted to see if you would do a private reading for them. They lost their mother earlier this year and are having a difficult time coping since they never got to say good by before she went on life support. I know that your schedule is very full and understand that things may not be possible for a reading. I shall keep watching your show and monitor the tour dates if you will be in the area again. Take care and God Bless you.
