Brentwood Capital Advisors is pleased to announce that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to Pasadena Villa Psychiatric Residential Treatment Centers (“Pasadena” or the “Company”) in its sale to Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare (“Odyssey”), a platform company formed by Nautic Partners (“Nautic”) and Scott Kardenetz.

Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Orlando, FL, Pasadena Villa is a leading provider of psychiatric treatment services to patients suffering from thought and mood disorders. The Company treats patients in two intensive residential treatment facilities, Pasadena Villa (Orlando, FL) and Smokey Mountain Lodge (Sevierville, TN). Pasadena provides a full continuum of care including intensive residential treatment, supportive residential treatment, day treatment and case management.

“We founded and built Pasadena Villa to focus on mental health and primary psychiatric disorders,” said David Nissen, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Pasadena. “Our mission has been to provide the highest quality individualized psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care for adults who suffer with severe and persistent mental illness, while maximizing social functioning in the real world. Brentwood Capital Advisors, our investment banker in this transaction, played a critically important role in structuring a transaction that met the goals of all shareholders, which included maximizing value and finding a partner who shares our vision for excellence in psychiatric care. BCA identified the best buyer and helped us prepare for and navigate through a rigorous diligence process and complex transaction and purchase contract negotiations.”

“We were delighted to represent Pasadena Villa in this sale to Odyssey,” stated L.A.
