Commonwealth Psychological Services provides compassionate, affordable client-centered counseling services for children, teens, family, senior adults in Harrisonburg VA and the surrounding areas of Waynesboro, Staunton, Woodstock and the central Shenandoah Valley.

The clinical staff of Dr. Audie Gaddis, Dr. Rowland Shank, Jr., Matthew Wikswo, and Jessica James also provides couples and family psychotherapy, ADHD, mood disorder, life transitions and substance abuse counseling. Dr. Gaddis provides online webcam-based psychotherapy during evenings. If you are interested in webcam-based possibilities, please contact our office for more information and scheduling.

The counseling process begins with a thorough interview to help the client and the therapist develop a counseling plan that meets the client's needs.

Whatever the issue, be it Evaluations, Psychotherapy (counseling), Cognitive Rehabilitation, Forensic Services, Gifted and learning disorders programs, we want the client to experience a place of safety, acceptance, and openness.  We understand that deciding to participate in counseling can be a tough decision for someone who has not previously experienced therapy or feel that their previous counselor was not helpful.  We also know there are numerous counselors with a variety of approaches that can make it quite difficult to choose. 

We invite you to carefully review the biographies of each of our clinical staff.  If you are unsure who to contact for your particular needs, you may contact Dr. Gaddis who will help you determine which counselor may have the experience and skills to be the most helpful.  If you have an issue or problem that we cannot treat we will refer you to one of the many fine psychologists (counselors) or psychotherapists we know of in the Shenandoah Valley.  Our objective is that your counseling experience helps you discover recovery, growth, and a renewed sense of hope.
