Introduction: Identifying and presenting the professional development models of counselors of counseling and psychology centers in Tehran can help them perform reasonably and appropriately and improve their abilities. The current research was conducted with the aim of designing the model of professional development of counselors of counseling and psychology centers in Tehran based on the Grounded Theory.

The statistical population of this research included all counselors of counseling and psychology centers in Tehran in 2022. The method of sampling was purposive and snowball. The number of samples reached 21 semi-structured interviews using the principle of theoretical saturation. In this research, to measure the validity of the findings, 4 criteria of credibility, generalizability, reliability and verifiability were used, and the method of reviewing the interview texts by the interviewees and the two-coder method was used to measure the reliability of the findings. Data analysis was done with open, axial and selective coding.
Results: The components of causal conditions include work conscience, purposefulness, interest, motivation for growth and development, and correct policy making; the components of the phenomena include improving knowledge and strengthening individual characteristics; the component of the context include the organization of psychology and counseling and excellent quality of education; the component of intervention conditions include lack of scientific flexibility, lack of scientific openness and commercialization of education; the component of strategies included individual and collaborative strategies, and the component of consequences included building trust in referred, increasing the self-confidence of counselors, increasing the quality of counseling, and therapeutic alliance.
