Adolescence is a critical period for identity formation, emotional regulation, and relational development. When trauma occurs during this stage, it shapes how clients come to understand themselves, and those patterns can persist across decades in ways that are not always easy to trace to their source.
This training gives clinicians a developmentally grounded framework for recognizing adolescent trauma within EMDR therapy and addressing it across all phases of treatment.
Licensed MHPs who work with adult clients where emotional, relational, or identity patterns trace back to adolescence, even when that origin is not the presenting concern.
Clinicians with EMDR Basic Training who want a stronger developmental lens for understanding complex presentations and how the AIP model applies across the lifespan.
Clinicians who work directly with adolescent clients and want to understand how to conceptualize developmental trauma within the EMDR framework during the formative period itself.
Adolescence is a critical stage for identity formation, emotional regulation, and relational development. When trauma occurs during this period, it does not stay in the past. It shapes long-term patterns of distress, negative cognition, and relational behavior that continue into adulthood, often without a clear event-based target the clinician can work with directly.
Grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, this training introduces the Trauma Tree as a clinical conceptualization framework for understanding how developmental wounds during adolescence organize beliefs, emotional responses, and behavioral patterns. Lauren Ogren works from years of clinical experience at this specific intersection, helping clinicians see the developmental roots that are shaping the adult presentation in front of them.
Through lecture, clinical examples, guided visualization, and practice, clinicians build concrete frameworks they can apply across all phases of EMDR treatment.
Clinical frameworks for identifying and addressing adolescent trauma within the EMDR protocol, with a developmental lens across all 8 phases.
01
Identify how adolescent brain development shapes trauma responses and emotional regulation patterns that appear in adult clinical presentations.
02
Conceptualize adolescent trauma through the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model and apply that conceptualization across the 8-phase protocol.
03
Use the Trauma Tree framework to map how developmental wounds contribute to negative cognitions and present-day behavioral patterns.
04
Recognize negative cognitions connected to adolescent developmental wounds and identify appropriate areas of focus for processing and resourcing.
05
Apply resourcing strategies, including EFT techniques and protective figure work, to support regulation and adaptive neural integration.
06
Use sensory access points and developmental visualization techniques to reach less verbally accessible adolescent-rooted material.
When clinicians can identify how adolescent experiences have organized a client's beliefs and relational patterns, they can move beyond surface-level symptom work and engage the developmental roots beneath.
Rather than approaching adolescent-rooted presentations without a conceptual map, clinicians leave with a specific framework for understanding what is happening developmentally, how to access it, and how to support regulation and processing within the EMDR protocol. From the Trauma Tree conceptualization through resourcing and installation, the clinical tools in this training are designed for immediate application.

EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist · Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist · Specialty Trainer
Dr. Lauren Ogren is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Northern California who specializes in adolescent trauma and the developmental experiences that shape adult emotional patterns. Her clinical work focuses on helping clients process trauma that emerged during adolescence, a developmental period that often influences identity, relationships, and emotional regulation well into adulthood.
Dr. Ogren earned her Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy, from the University of San Francisco. She later completed her Doctorate in Human and Organizational Psychology at Touro University. She integrates EMDR therapy and evidence-based approaches to help clinicians recognize and address the deeper developmental roots of traumatic experience.
In addition to her private practice, Dr. Ogren serves as a counselor at a school for children with dyslexia, bringing extensive direct experience supporting adolescents in both clinical and educational settings. Her training emphasizes practical tools clinicians can use to understand how adolescent trauma manifests in adult clients and how EMDR can address the underlying developmental wounds.
