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.”

Would love to see if my family could get a group reading! So that May have some closure! How can we make this happen!
My sisters 29 year old son passed away at home suddenly 2 weeks ago. He was not ill and was fine that morning when she came home. He got out of the bed had a seizure in the hallway and died while his sister and his father performed CPR. It was such a shock to us all and we are all grieving the loss tremendously, but I am so worried that my sister will honestly die of a broken heart. There are no words to say to her or any way to comfort her. We still don’t know what the cause of death was and don’t even have his ashes back (which I am really afraid will push my sister over the edge). If she could just get some kind of closure, I am hoping it might help to save her life. Please help us if you can.
When I was 6 my mother died. She mourned herself to death less then a week after her mother had died. The last time I and my sister saw her was the morning of her death. We got up to go to school and mom was still in bed and told us to fix our own breakfast and when we asked what was wrong she told my sister that ” mommy just wished she would die.” That day when we came home from school she was dead. My older sister Sharon died when I was 13, my sister Tonda died when I was 17, my brother Rick died when I was 24. I have felt an unrest in my life and feel that I have no purpose in life. I have felt like I have had communications with my Mother throughout my life and I wish I could figure out why I am still here on earth.
need 2 get a reading from you the sooner the better thanks LOU

My mother and father have passed years ago, however, my sister and I have reservations that our younger sister has cause their deaths. We also have a brother that has passed and my sister feels that he did not end his life as everyone thinks. We would love to have a reading and would like to know how to get one. We realize that you will be in Toledo OH in April and are planning to attend your show. Thank you for listening.

I would like to hear from my father@mother.
my high school boyfriend died about 12 years ago. I desperately need to get intouch with him. My boyfriends name is Pat Callery. I am intouch with his sister. We dated for a couple of years then drifted apart. I did see him again in1998 or 99. We were both involved with people, so not a good time to rekindle. I desperately love him and wonder if he is with me. Please let me know.
thank you,
