Tonal Correction

The most noticeable problem is the harsh shadows. This can be fixed easily with the Shadows/Highlights tool. Choose Image > Adjustments > Shadows/Highlights. Increase the Shadows setting until the details are restored.

Add a Levels adjustment layer shown by the image below.

In the Levels tool, select the middle eyedropper located below the Options button. Then, click on a gray area in the photo. The white balance should be restored but it may take a few tries to get it to the correct color.
