My treatment philosophy is based upon a balanced approach to healing. While medications often play an important role in treatment of psychiatric illnesses I believe the best practice is to consider the whole person, paying kind and careful attention to the individual and their internal world. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and dissociative disorders, as well as depression and anxiety.
I focus more on the connection between the mind and body as a path to healing. I offer short and long term psychotherapy in addition to medication management services (only if you are also an active therapy patient of mine). My goal is to provide you with a safe space for healing, adequate time for empathetic listening, the development of insight, and the opportunity for understanding and compassion.

Unfortunately, my clinic is unable to accept any new suboxone patients at this time. I am also unable to provide any outpatient detox services. I highly recommend the Kolmac Clinic if you are in need of outpatient substance abuse treatment. Information, services, products, messages, and other content on this website are provided for educational and general informational purposes only.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department instead. I am no longer accepting new patients seeking only medication management (without concurrent long term/weekly psychotherapy) now or in the future. In other words, I only provide medication management services to my own active/ongoing therapy patients and new prospective therapy patients.

My colleagues and I at DC Talk Therapy have been referring patients to Dr. Beyer for medication evals for the past few months and we've been thrilled with the quality of service he has given. Dr. Beyer is knowledgable, warm and very responsive to patients and our staff. We will happily continue to refer patients to him.

Dr. Beyer is an extremely talented psychiatrist, grounded in both psychotherapy and medication treatment, which is rare. It is difficult to find a warm, compassionate, and expert psychiatrist, and Dr. Beyer has all of those qualities. He is gifted in his ability to provide personalized, non judgemental care. He is the real deal and will help you to make permanent change in your life. Also, he is highly experienced in trauma.

Dr Beyer is a rare find. He is patient, kind, caring, and compassionate while also being detailed and thorough. He finds ways to bring warmth and humor into what are often very difficult, even excruciating circumstances. He takes a real and lasting interest in his patients and makes himself accessible and available in a way that few doctors do.

Dr. Beyer is an excellent physician and deeply invested in the well-being of his patients. He is down-to-earth, open, non-judgmental, and practical, while possessing a keen understanding of underlying motivations and biases that influence our behaviors and thoughts. Whatever is your style and comfort zone, he will work with you to achieve your hopes and goals.

John Beyer and I have worked together for the past 3 years. In this time I have seen very attentive fair supportive and insightful interactions with patients. He brings a strong and realistic plan forward for patients and guides them through the progress or missteps. If you are engaged and willing participant in treatment you will see results. In my opinion John brings a good balance to the psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy balance. John Beyer will be a surely missed part of our team but we understand that his departure is based on wanting to have further autonomy. A need to be an integral part

Dr. Beyer helped guide me through serious depression and (unbeknownst to me) self destructive behaviors recently. Using skillful talk therapy with light pharma (a gentle mixture without untoward side effects), I am now in a healthy easily sustainable mental state. In short, he’s got (psychiatrist) game.
