The grounded theory approach including open, axial and selective coding was used. The results showed that dimensions of spirituality and self-transcendence in the counselors include 5 personal, social, occupational, ontological and divine dimensions. The personal dimension meant that the spirituality and self-transcendence witch reflected in counseling, provided an opportunity for the personal growth of the consolers and lead to job satisfaction. The social dimension refers to the relationship of counselors with clients, meant that counselors provide client satisfaction by going beyond self and altruism. The occupational dimension indicated that despite the career difficulties and challenges, counselors enjoyed their job because of the spiritual perspective and viewpoint. The ontology dimension refers to the rippling effect in consolers which happened because of their self-transcendence and spirituality, leading to an impact on the community and the fate of individuals. The divine dimension refers to the presence of God in the counseling profession and modeling of counselors on religious principles. Based on the results, it can be concluded that self-transcendence and spirituality in the counselors enhance their quality of life both in the job and in personal life.
