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.”

Dear Theresa,
I was a caregiver for my mother and my youngest brother. My mother passed on november 22, 2011 and my brother less than year later on november 20,2012. I was able to say goodbye to my mother but my brother I was not able. For a while I considered suicide but knew I still had things to take care of here on earth. I have turned into a compulsive eater and have gained back much of the weight I had lost. Sometimes I feel like I want to give up on life but I am caring for my mothers husband (my stepfather). I saw your show when you visited washington, d.c. I sure wished I could have met you. So many of your shows have touched me in ways you would not believe. I have so many medical issues myself and can get very discouraged. I saw your episode today about your daughter thinking she may be a celiac . I am a celiac and it is not very easy to deal with when you are on a fixed income. I just wish I could have said goodbye to my brother. We were very close, almost like twins even though we were 4 years apart. He was my heart and would do anything for me and I for him. I called both him and my mother my children since I never had any. There is so much I want to tell you but I feel like you are already going to know things. My heart is too full right now to even finish this email so I guess I will just close out and maybe get in touch with you at a later date.
Wishing you and your family all of Gods’ love.
Hi Theresa,
I’m hoping you can help me I lost my husband in 2013, ever since his passing my daughter and I have not been able to connect with each other. Prior to his death we were best friends and could talk about anything thing and everything. She started using drugs to cope with his death. She has a four year old son who was the apple of his paw paw ‘so eyes. After his passing he spoke through my grandson. The scariest thing for me is I’m going to loose my daughter. She has always heard people talking since she was little and she still does. She will be in the room with me or anyone and will ask what did you say. She never wanted to go around large crowds, like family function even as a teenager. I could never understand we a a family that loves to be around each other. She reserched on the internet of how when she is around people and they are upset or hurting she draws off of them. She feels she my be an empath. My life has turned upside down since my husband died and now I’m so afraid I’m loosing my daughter. I’m hoping you can help us both. We live in St. Bernard Parish. I was shocked when I saw your show and saw you did a group reading in Chalmette. I would love if you could do one for my family and possibly help my daughter deal with her father’s death and see if she really could be a empath. I’m not sure how much it would cost I don’t have lots of money but I would be willing to take out a lone if it meant my grandson could have his mommy back a I could have my daughter back. He would tell me I was his soul mate. I felt with my job I lost precious time with him a I’m hoping he forgives me, which I needed to work so he had insurance and the medicine he needed, since he was on disability . My contact information is 504-908-908. I’m hoping you can help me and my daughter our lives back I’m so scared of losing her I feel she is shutting down more each day. Thanks in advance for anything you can do to bring my daughter back to me a here four year old son.
Hi, my name is Diane Butler. I was born with renal kidney failures and had 2 failed kidney transplants, second one I almost died but I’m here now and I’m glad I am here with my families and plus, 2 years ago, I got married to my wonderful husband. About a year ago on July 31st, 2013, my momma died of heart attack due to arteries blockage in her heart where she thought she was having heart burn and took couple of my acid reflux pills to see if it helped but didnt and within 24hrs later, my husband’s grandfather passed away too. He took it hard. I really would like to know hows shes doing, if shes watching over all of us and like to let her know we all still love her and miss her lots more than she knows. I watch your shows and you do very good job. I was hoping you would nicely come here to talk with me , my husband, my dad and brother? I really would be apprecited and grateful if you came.
Thanks, Diane Butler

Theresa. I lost my husband last month in a horrible accident that my children witnessed. I feel it was my fault and I’m really struggling. He was my best friend and my soul mate. We were married 10.5 years. My heart and soul is crushed. Please help me.
Teresa

Can you please help thank you

I love your show. I have experienced many moments with my loved ones who have passed. I call them coincidences but I feel they are more than that. I feel they are communicating to me. I have experienced some amazing moments with both my son and my husband that I cannot explain away. I need to know that they are experiencing complete joy and that my anazing moments are when THEY reach out to me.
I would like to get a reading, or attend a reading, so that my anguish of
always questioning these moments can once and for all be resolved. I have spoken with pasters of faith and priests about my loss, but they have not been able to comfort me… Please let me meet you. I have this enormous void of not knowing how they feel about me. I know they loved me, but I question myself out of guilt. Do they know how much I loved them?
Teresa I have a biological sister that was adopted. Her adoptive mother passed away last year. She misses her very much. I feel her pain when she talks about her. I would like to know if you could give her the gift of a reading. It would mean so much to me yo be able to help her heal. I will pay the expense. I just want you to let her know I love her. Even though we never shared are lives together. Thank you
My brother hates me. I am 48 and before my daddy died he told me just how much my brother hates me. My brother lost his 19 year old daughter due to a drunk driver hitting her on her way home from work on Mothers’ Day 2009. Her sisters and brother, along with the rest of our family still feels like there is has been no closure since the drunk driver has done no time and never will. I love my brother no matter how he feels about me. If you could give him and his family a reading while you are in Louisiana, it could be possible for my grandkids to be associated with my brothers’ grandkids. He will see just how much I care for him since I have not been able to do that myself. Also his oldest daughter Mandy asked her grandmother if she knew of any way to contact her passed away sister. Her grandmother, my mother, could only comfort her. We also lost my father one year later almost to the date. So you see just how many family members you can heal here. I know you are busy. If you cannot make it, I understand. The only to contact me is by telephone. 337.363.0614. Let it ring 5 times and leave a message if I am not home. If I am not here I will be back soon since I check on my mother quite often next door. Thank you for your time. PS I LOVE your show. I cannot watch it without shedding tears. Your husband is SO cool too! CHAD DOUGET 337.363.0614
Hi Theresa,

I am writing in regards to my close friend Renee. She recently lost her 28 year old brother to suicide. He was 28. They were extremely close because they had a difficult upbringing. He suffered from PTSD after serving as a Marine in Afghanistan. He leaves behind a 5 year old daughter. His sister Renee tried relentlessly to get him admitted into an inpatient program. The VA told her on 5 different occasions that the beds were full, call back tomorrow. PLEASE PLEASE help us to contact him to put his sister Renee at ease. She is also dealing with her father who has very similar problems plus a traumatic brain injury. We NEED YOUR HELP
