Regarding psycopg2 vs psycopg2-binary, I'd just like to point to the official docs explaining the difference, including potential problems with psycopg2-binary:
https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html#psycopg-vs-psycopg-binary

In any case, brew install postgresql worked for me to be able to then pip install psycopg2 without issue
