Jay Barnett joined Inside Fitness 360 as a sought after youth leadership and mental well-being mentor. After his time in the NFL, Jay has made it his mission to lead and guide today's youth through group programs and curriculum while providing encouragement, tools, resources and the support needed to begin the journey of evolving into the young men and women they desire to be.
With over 10 years of highly skilled and acclaimed mentoring and success stories, public speaking, business experience and most importantly, real-life, his view is radically different. Jay appreciates and shares with his mentees that leadership is a moment to moment choice and not about title and position. Leadership is for everyone - it's a choice and it's how we should live our lives.
Also, as a leader in the community, Jay serves as the senior consultant and Master Teen Mentor with his Sugarland, Texas based organizations: The Me Project and The We Project which serves at risk teens, ages 13-18. Working with Jay, teens developed self-esteem, self-worth, value for their bodies and strong mindsets.

Hello! My name is Steph, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate dedicated to walking alongside youth, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate the unique challenges of growing up in today’s world. I bring over three years of experience and a deep passion for helping young people feel seen, heard, and supported.
I specialize in working with clients who are facing anxiety, peer and family relationship issues, identity exploration, school stress, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. I’m also passionate about supporting student-athletes and members of the BIPOC community by creating a space where they can show up fully as themselves and work through life’s pressures without judgment.
My approach is holistic and client-centered—I believe in honoring the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on honesty, empathy, and trust. I’ll meet you where you are, help you recognize your strengths, and work with you to build skills that support your growth and resilience.
Whether you're facing tough emotions, big decisions, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you're going, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
